Hab 22-3 (KJV) 2 And the LORD answered me, and
said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For
the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at
the end it shall speak, and not lie though it
tarry, wait for it because it will surely come,
it will not tarry.

Gal 67-10 (Message) 7-8 Don't be misled No one
makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he
will harvest. The person who plants selfishness,
ignoring the needs of othersignoring
God!harvests a crop of weeds.
10
All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But
the one who plants in response to God, letting
God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests
a crop of real life, eternal life. 9-10 So let's
not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good.
At the right time we will harvest a good crop if
we don't give up, or quit.
11
Right now, therefore, every time we get the
chance, let us work for the benefit of all,
starting with the people closest to us in the
community of faith.

Hebrews 1124-29 24 By faith Moses, when he
became of age, refused to be called the son of
Pharaohs daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of God than to enjoy
the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the
reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures in Egypt for he looked to the reward.
16
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the
wrath of the king for he endured as seeing Him
who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the
Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who
destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By
faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry
land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so,
were drowned.
